I have an IRH Elite for showing. It's an okay helmet. At $170, it isn't going to kill my wallet if I take a spill and need to replace it. I think it's a bit more popular on the west coast than east because we're more Jumper focused out here. The IRH Elite is more of a "jumpery" look. If I end up showing something in the Pre-Greens and 1st Years I'll grab a velvet helmet, but most everything I'm showing now is either in the Jumper ring, non-rated divisions or at Schooling shows I honestly like my Tipperary quite a bit for schooling, but would be embarassed to be seen in it anywhere other than at home. (I chastized one of the kids for taking a picture of me while I was wearing it, haha)
